Good Mornin' Spesh! You are just in time for coffee, lol. Thought I would say Hello in the hope you are still around. So.....Hello! Have a great day..:)

EL....... wanted to post this on your thread FIRST before I put it on my celebrity thread. Just read it, am in the middle of hair washing and trying to get out the door to run a few errands. Richard Attenborough has died********** Ben Kingsley, who shot to stardom for his performance as Mahatma Gandhi, recalled Attenborough's passionate 20-year struggle to bring Gandhi's story to the big screen. The film won eight Oscars, including best picture (over "E.T."), best director for Attenborough and best actor for Kingsley."He placed in me an absolute trust and in turn I placed an absolute trust in him and grew to love him," said Kingsley. "I along with millions of others whom he touched through his life and work will miss him dearly."A product of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Attenborough made his screen debut in the patriotic 1942 World War II film "In Which We Serve." He served, too, in the Royal Air Force, and afterward became one of the best-known actors of post-War Britain.In his 60-plus years of acting, he amassed some 70 credits, including "Brighton Rock," "The Great Escape," "Doctor Dolittle," "10 Rillington Place," "Jurassic Park" (as the failed theme park developer) and the 1994 remake of "Miracle on 34th Street." (Naturally, he played Kris Kringle.)He transitioned into directing beginning with 1969's World War I musical comedy "Oh! What a Lovely War." He directed 12 films altogether, including "A Bridge Too Far," "A Chorus Line," "Cry Freedom," "Chaplin" and "Shadowlands."Attenborough was a constant advocate for the British film industry as well as other humanitarian causes, including his extensive work as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. He was awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize in 1983.

Thanks Vee for this great tribute to one of our finest actors, a Giant amongst men.

I don't know, I am sure my boss would agree with you. I wish I could have more time with my kids.....although on the bright side, when I do find time with them, we can do some of the fun things that we used to not be able to do because they are expensive........like go carts......arcades.......shopp ing

BILL GATES AND GENERAL MOTORSBill Gates is hanging out with the chairman of General Motors.

"If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades," boasts Gates, "you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50."

"Sure," says the GM chairman. "But would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?"

That's exactly right.....kids love all that and it doesn't come cheap. There was something funnyon the TV news this morning, where they discuss the papers, and apparently kids are feelinga bit grieved because 50 yr olds are muscling in on their skate board parks, wonder how theyfeel having 50 yr olds skate boarding next to them was the question. There is little for kids tooccupy themselves near where I live, but there is a skate board park, I have yet to see anyolder people brave enough to use it. We do have a lake which is popular during the warmerweather...and the sea is ten minutes away. All very nice, but I so miss the decent shoppingarcades of home! Two coins agin!

<quoted text>Good mornng El and Grace and 2 Special. Going to be over 100 again today. The lake is down about 10 feet. It looks more like a pasture

Good Morning Denny.....a scorching 70 here, with a cool breeze a blowin'.....there is hope for a bit more Summer weather yet and as you know September here is usually very nice. It was crowded in town, a double whammy of kids on school break and tourists.....am glad to be home where it is quiet.Shame about the lake, hope you get some well needed rain soon enough.

My little town does not have a skateboard park, but the kids figure out how to use driveways and curbs to have fun with them, a hilly street is also a favorite, an boards provide some danger........they seem to make their own fun when no other option is available!!!

We have had a 3 year drought and it will take a good wet fall and winter to get it back to normal levels. Most of the boat ramps are closed :)
